Search engine optimization (SEO) is driven by website content, keyword integration into that content, and several, technical tweaks to the back end of your website.

Google and other search engines also change the game consistently. So, it is imperative to have a team that not only stays ahead of the game but also understands how prospects search for insurance products.

Understanding keywords.

What is SEO?

SEO is the process of understanding what keywords your business needs to be an authority on in the eyes of search engines and strategically setting up your website to be found for those keywords. It is not as simple as attaching a blog to your website and cramming as many keywords as possible into it. In fact, that could penalize you.

How does SEO work?

We always say search engine optimization stands on two legs: relevance and authority.

Authority

Authority is the metric a search engine uses to determine who is at the top of the first page when the user searches for a term. The more authority you have, the closer to the first page and the higher you are on it.

Relevance

Relevance is a search engine’s metric to determine what websites are relevant to the user’s search they typed out. Relevance gets you on the list.

Search engines do not care whose website they show on the first page. Their priority is making sure their users are getting the best website with the most authority and relevance in regards to their search term. SEO is the process of pushing your website towards the front.

Content marketing as an SEO strategy.

In addition to optimizing your pages for relevant keywords, you must also add supplemental pages. These pages shows search engines you are adding fresh content to your site. Blogging is not enough. The pages must be structured correctly in order to establish your authority.
